The edits began today. I’m not sure if I’m doing it right. I’ve made the basic proofreading fixes, beefed up a few verbs, but I don’t know that I’m reading it like a reader would. I don’t know yet if it’s enjoyable. I’m still locked into the first chapter; I might need to give it more time to sit. It’s too fresh.
Perhaps this is because I’ve gone through the first chapter so many times already. I don’t know chapter 20 nearly as well, and it’s been months since I last read that deep into the story.
Still, today has not been a loss. I’ve gotten below 120,000 words. I’ve also asked some questions of the novel I believe a reader would ask and which need to be addressed. This will take a while.
